" Is there anything else we should discuss?" Tetsu asked, hoping what they had discussed would work.

"Nothing that I can think of at the moment," Ichigo replied.

"I can't either." Tetsu said." I hope these ideas work. I'm thinking the sooner we start to help Tatsuki the better. Maybe once she wakes up ." Tetsu said, seeing the worried look on Hoshi's face. He knew he might have to teach her to use hypnotism, knowing she was ready to learn.

"Agreed. But I also thoink you're right when you said that we can't do anything for her tonight, as much as I hate to admit it," Ichigo said with a small tone of irritation in his voice.

" Tomorrow will be the best we can do. She needs her rest. "Tetsu said wishing he could help sooner also. He knew Tatsuki would be safe with Isshin and Ichigo there.

"I just feel so helpless..." Ichigo said before raising a hand to cover his mouth as a yawn escaped from his mouth.

" I think we all do right now. " Tetsu said seeing the others nod. " I think it would be good if we all got some rest . I feel tomorrow is going to be a big day." He added, feeling tired himself.

"Mind if I crash here tonight?" Ichigo asked.

"I don't mind at all Ichigo. Captain, do you have a place to stay?" Tetsu asked Captain Hitsugaya, not sure if he was staying at Urahara's.

"Thanks Tetsu," Ichigo said.

"I do. Urahara is allowing me to stay at his shop for the time being," Toushiro replied.

" Your welcome Ichigo. I thank you captain for coming over on such short notice. I know that Tatsuki will be fine once she tells someone." Tetsu said.

"You don't have to thank me Tetsu," Toushiro replied before he got up. "If you need me, you'll know where to find me." He said before leaving.

Hoshi got the extra futon out for Ichigo to sleep on. " Let me know if you need anything. " She said ," Rue-chan. I have an extra futon in my room if you would like sleep there." Hoshi said to her new friend, hoping she was alright.

Ichigo thanked Hoshi for getting the futon out for him noticing that Rue also agreed to Hoshi's offer and followed her up the stairs. Once they were out of view, Ichigo laid down on the futon before slowly falling asleep.

Hoshi got the futon laid out for Rue and got ready for bed. " Let me know if you need me in the middle of the night. " Hoshi said, wanting Rue to feel comfortable.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to wake you if that occurs?" Rue asked. She knew that humans had to sleep and didn't want to wake her if she didn't have to.

" It's okay if you do. I hope you sleep well Rue-chan. " Hoshi said with a smile.

"Alright. Sleep well Hoshi-chan," Rue responded before getting comfortable and falling asleep.

Hoshi smiled and laid down on the bed, quickly falling asleep. She woke up with a start a few hours later, after the dream she had, and feeling afraid. Hoshi laid back down and fell back asleep, knowing she had a few more hours of sleep.

Rue slept peacefully, dreaming of the small time that she had with her friend Katniss before she died. It was one of the few memories of happiness that she had before becoming a ghost and meeting with Elva-chan, and now Hoshi-chan as well.

Hoshi woke up when she heard her alarm, seeing Rue still asleep and quickly took her shower, knowing her dad would wake up Ichigo soon. " Rue-chan. Would you like to go to school with me today?" She asked softly as she got dressed in her uniform. She understood if Rue wanted to stay.

Tetsu got ready for the day and went down to wake up Ichigo and shook him gently , hoping he wouldn't get punched in the face.

Ichigo rolled off what he thought was his bed when he felt the hand on his body. Not calculating for the size of the couch, he fell flat on his face. "Ow..." he said as he got off the floor.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? If I'm there...wouldn't Hollows try attacking the school?" She asked.

" Are you alright?" Tetsu asked and helped Ichigo up. " Bathroom is free." He said, keeping his senses open. For some reason it felt different out today.

" You'll be safe there. Either Ichigo or I can get rid of the Hollows if they try to attack. You will be safe if you stay here though. My dad has a barrier up that keeps the hollows out." Hoshi said.

"I'll live," Ichigo replied before thanking him for telling him that the bathroom was free.

Rue thought about it for a few moments before deciding on going with Hoshi to school.

" Alright. " Hoshi said with a smile and grabbed her bag. " Ready to head down? " She felt the change in the air and felt uneasy. She hoped Tatsuki was alright.
